Ignore road closures.

[Herman Veldhuizen]

I had a case today where in the Here map a road was marked as closed but it wasn't (the road is a mountain road which can be closed temporarily because of bad weather). Is there any way to ignore such a closure when I start to navigate, without adding offroad points? My setting for seasonal closures if off.

I am navigating as a track. I have seen cases where the app warns me for route violations and I had expected this to see again but it didnt this time. The app found a detour without warning me. Not sure how but I think that it would be useful to have some sort of control over when a track is updated.

It helps to navigate the route as a track; this can be set under Settings in your own account, then under Navigation settings / Functions at the very bottom.

@Hubert-Thoring I do!

Hi, try also "traffic-aware route calculation" to switch off.

[Herman Veldhuizen]

@Jörgen Also this setting was off.

Another option is, before starting the App and the route, go offline. Then the closure and traffic information will not be available when starting the route.
This is not a nice way for just a little issue and gave you limitation the rest off the route.

@Jörgen i can see that this would work but indeed not a nice solution.
I might be wrong but I think that it currently is not defined when the track is created and updated.
I have no proof yet but I think that I have seen the app come with an updated track during(!) navigation (even with automatic recalculation off).

[Herman Veldhuizen]

Would locking the route prevent the track to be changed?

Am I missing something here ?.
I have always had the understanding that a "track" did not recalculate.

This route and video shows the reverse scenario.
I planned a route where a road between 2 waypoints is closed. Obviously the planner finds a way around it. However when I open or navigate the route the closed road is ignored. This might give a hint.
